This study focuses on the synthesis of activated carbon (AC) using a mix of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and date seeds (DS) by the optimized ZnCl₂-activation method for the first time. At 600°C for 1 h utilizing an impregnation ratio of 2:1 ZnCl₂: mix, the ideal AC was synthesized. The latter was submitted to identification by N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms and pore volume, XRD, FESEM, EDX, total basic and acid groups, FTIR, and pH_PZC, and the outcome suggested its mesoporous structure with an average pore size of 3.16 nm and a BET surface area of 672.22 m²/g. This AC was tried in the dispose of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from model oil (DBT/nhexane), and the findings showed that the superlative elimination of DBT (95.07%) was accomplished at 35°C for 80 min using 0.30 g of the AC. Eliminating DBT by the AC derived from the said mix was best represented by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-2^nd-order kinetics model. An adsorptive capacity of 23.80 mg/g was obtained as per the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.The regenerated AC demonstrated an outstanding adsorptive performance for DBT up to 4 cycles of reuse, signifying its high adsorption performance.
